The fix is PAYING me!!


How the 21 day fix PAID me!

If you own the plan, you already know how your containers are configured. For those of you who haven’t made the plunge yet, your weight drives the amount of containers you get to eat a day containing a certain food group. For my plan, I get 4 red (protein), 2 purple (fruit), 2 yellow (carbs/starches), 3 green (veggies), 1 blue (healthy fat/cheeses), and 1 orange (seeds/dressing) 2 teaspoons (nut butters/pb). Easy, right? Below was the meal plan I came up with for the week:

Breakfast (1 red and 1 purple)

2 eggs

½ banana

Snack #1 (1 purple/1 teaspoon)

1 medium apple slices

1 tsp peanut butter

Lunch (1 red, 1 green, 1 yellow, 1 orange)

Brown rice

Broccoli

Chicken

Balsamic Vinaigrette

Snack #2 (1 Green and 1 blue)

Cucumber slices

Hummus

Dinner (1 red, 1 green, 1 yellow)

Chicken

Whole wheat Pasta

Peas

Snack #3 (1 red, 1 teaspoon)

Greek Yogurt

Peanut Butter

Wow!!!!!!!! Tell me that isn’t a lot of food!!!!!!!!!! I was NEVER eating this much throughout the day before. I was eating stupidly. A muffin for breakfast, then starving by the time lunch came around. I’d have a packet of Ramen, which is probably the worst thing on Earth for you! I resorted to Ramen BECAUSE IT WAS CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn’t realize I could be eating an entire lunch like I am now and not breaking the budget. I must be nuts! I’m glad I’ve finally seen the light. Yes, people who desire to lose weight WILL with this program. For me, it’s about actually consuming ENOUGH food and the RIGHT food. I’m to the point now where I don’t even need my first snack before lunch. If I want it, it’s there, but if I don’t need it right away, I can save it for later. It’s awesome! Wouldn’t you want to eat THIS much food and lose weight/be healthier? Had I known it was this easy I would have invested a long time ago. I always thought it was a silly gimmick. I was into counting out every single calorie. I don’t have to do that now. I just fill up the box, dump, and go.

Do  you want to know what I spent on food for the above for an ENTIRE week? $35!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, $35!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at your grocery list and everything that you’re buying. Is it filled with fluff, and junk? Additional things that you don’t really need like dressings and cheeses? STOP IT RIGHT NOW! This program can SAVE YOU MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me break it down for you

2 carton of eggs is roughly $2.40 (24 eggs/ 2 eggs a day for a week=14 eggs. That means I still have eggs LEFTOVER for my son!!!!!!!!!

3lbs of chicken is $7. I made enough chicken to feed me for 5 lunches and 6 dinners. That is ELEVEN meals!!!!

You can get 1 box of brown rice for $1.50. 1 box of brown rice will last me a little more than TWO WEEKS!

I bought 1 box of whole wheat pasta for $1.50. This box of pasta will feed myself AND my son for over a week!

I could go on and on and on, but you get my point. When I do my grocery shopping next week, I’ll have a surplus from this week, so I’ll be spending EVEN less. So, not only do I have a program to keep my eating and working out on track, it’s controlling my spending too. BONUS!  If you’re interested in being paid to do the 21 day fix, send me a message! We can get you started RIGHT NOW! You’ll be on the path to extra money in your pocket!!
